BOISE, Idaho — Idaho achieved a notable distinction last year: It became one of the hardest places in America for someone to quit a job for a better one.
The state did this by making it easier for companies to enforce noncompete agreements, which prevent employees from leaving their company for a competitor.

If talking CEO's; I get it but, if talking lower level employees, this "non compete" bit needs to be illegal.
Sign a contract..live with the consequences...be sure to read the small print. If you don't wish to be bound..don't sign. If you want the job and sign..don't whine.

Wow, we made it to a defense of this insane policy in one post. Ultimately it's bad for the employers too. People don't want to be locked down, so they'll go to more reasonable states like California that do not tolerate such insanity.

Never been an employed CEO (been a CEO of my own corp.). Every single employment I've had has had a 6 or 12 month non-compete. Never had an issue with moving jobs either, you just inform your next employer of the conditions, and if they still want you they sideline you into something unrelated to your last project for the term if the non-compete.
That was Washington too, not Idaho. Same thing happens for California all the time. You think a Google+ dev can just jump to Facebook and get going? Try it in Santa Clara, you'll regret it.

Despite their widespread use, these agreements often catch departing workers off guard because they are rarely highlighted during interviews and are usually tucked inside employment contracts that are full of impenetrable legalese few people can understand.

LMAO...that was quick! Second post in the thread. Must be some kind of CD record.

This is true. Also non competes are famously hard to enforce because the plaintiff has to prove that you are using some kind of proprietary information which is damaging to your former employer.

Or they will read the employment contracts at the companies they work for in the same state. Win-win-the non-so-bright workers leave, those that can read and think stay.
